The file is called usb-uhci.o and is a kernel driver for usb controllers
located somewhere in /lib/modules/$yourkernelversion. The standard
kernels for Woody should include this driver, so you don't have to
install anything.

You can load it using

modprobe usb-uhci

To load it automatically at startup, add a line containing

usb-uhci

to your /etc/modules.

Maybe you also need to load additional drivers like the "printer" module
to use your printer.
